shaping-manufacturing-processes > Sliding Head CNC Turning

This Turning process is performed on a Sliding Head Lathe where the work piece is moved through the chuck during machining.

This longitudinal movement provides an axis of machine control, whilst the cutting tool can remain at a fixed distance from the chuck. As deflection of the workpiece is minimised, and the machines can be fed bar stock through the chuck, the process lends itself to both high volume and high accuracy applications.
